Things I'm Obsessing Over

• Talking shit about people in ASL (which Nicky Kay is teaching me)
• Legwarmers and leggings for Kanicky
• Wild Harvest peach tea
• Tanning
• Pedicures
• Whether or not I've turned into "THAT girl"

My Shit Stinks

Okay, so today at coffee I flew solo. (Read: Nicky couldn't make it) And after my out-of-doors smoke break (see, I'm an awesome mom!) I was struggling to get my big donkey jeep stroller back in the door. When Double D pulled it open for me. I wasn't expecting this. I, in fact, said, "You scared the shit out of me." He replied, "There's a bathroom right there." I said, "For Kanicky?" He said, "No, for you." I was offended...did I stink? I thought about this for a good 10 minutes (not even exagerating, I AM that slow) before I realized that I had informed him that he had suprised me in such a way that I defecated on myself. And he was mildly witty and quick with his response. And I'm REALLY slow.

Thank you for listening Internet. I hang my head in shame.

I Guess It Just Depends

We're dealing with a sensitive issue here folks, adult diapers. Gramma is getting to the point where that might be a necessity. And as I am often having to help her get dressed, and doing the laundry I feel that my life might be easier if we tried getting her diapers or at least poise pads. But I don't want to humiliate the poor woman.

Gramma has been the strongest person in my life. And watching her fall apart so quickly has been sad to say the least, at times cripplingly so.

So how do I approach this with her? She has dementia, but she still is relatively aware of her surroundings.

Oh Kids...I just don't know what to do.

This Morning

Kiddos, Nicole would not wake up this morning and then I had to go to coffee by myself and Kanicky wouldn't stop crying at coffee and my laptop did not want to work and now I have wheat thins stuck in my teeth.

I hope today gets better...

So today...

I woke up at promptly 6:07 am, 7 minutes after the time my alarm was SUPPOSED to go off. Stupid cell phone didn't know that I MEANT to set it for 6 in the morning, not evening. Oh well. And Nic and Kanicky and I went and got coffee.
And, amusing story kiddos,


Actually...this requires some background info.
So the coffee shop Nic, Kanicky, and I frequent has a sort of DIY thing going if you're just getting regular coffee. So you pump your own cup, do the cream and sugar, and if you're local...bring your own cup. Which if you aren't super cool (like me and Nic...aren't) you also have to take home and watch. Or wash, you know, whatever.

Well today, Wade

I guess you don't know who that is. Ahem, cast of characters:

Wade- owner and operator of said coffee shop
Nic- my rad cousin who is also my best friend in the omniverse
Dottie- Cayucos greeter, 2-year-old daughter of Double D
Double D- Dottie's dad
Dottie's Mom- she doesn't have a nickname so hithertoforth she'll be referred to as Cool Sunglasses Chick Who Wears Lots of Leopard Print ehm...or CSCWWLOLP, yep that pretty much just rolls right off the tongue.
Bic'd Head Gray Beard Guy- roomie of Double D

I think that's it, there's more but I don't remember.

And now I forget my story. But today Wade made me put more sugar in the sugar jar and then I tipped him and thought I was pretty clever by saying, "That's for making me get my own sugar." and he one-upped me by saying, "Hey, if you keep tipping me like that I'll let you get your own sugar from now on."

Out-witted again, typical.

Pictures From Mom

I just got an e-mail with 129 pictures taken the month before and the week after Kanicky was born, I thought I'd pass a few of them along...

The first time I held this sweet girl! :)

A blurry one (my mom was the photographer) of uncle Matthew and baby K

After her first bath post-NICU. On G-Nana's counter.

These pictures make me want to cry! My baby has gotten SO massive in just 4 months. Oh man, what am I gonna do?!?!?

E.R.

Kanicky and I just spent almost two hours in the ER. I decided she had PIGGY-PIG FLU. She did not. The doctor also told me she would probably not get it, considering she'd been exposed to it and hadn't gotten it yet. She does however have a mild tummy bug. So she gets to drink grape pedialyte. Which she may or may not throw up back all over me. But still, YAY FOR NO PIGGY-PIG FLU.

Well, I'm too tired to be funny. So we're off to bed. Hopefully to sleep for a short period of time.

Okay, so this is super old. But she still sleeps like this. And she takes up WAY more of the swing, lol.
